"I think he has to have the level of political maturity to understand that government is not protesting,"
"And all those who are in his midst, like the Democratic Socialists of America, he needs to explain to them that he's now the mayor. He's no longer someone that is just protesting in the city of New York. He has to protect the city of New York."
Outgoing New York City Mayor Eric Adams traveled to Israel for a multi-day visit framed as solidarity amid rising antisemitism and as a farewell tour. Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani pledged not to visit Israel, promised to end the city's investments in Israeli government debt securities and said he would order the arrest of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if Netanyahu travels to New York. Adams emphasized that a mayor must protect the city rather than protest and urged Mamdani to demonstrate political maturity in relations with groups like the Democratic Socialists of America. Adams anticipated facing Mamdani in the general election.
